Alexander Calder: A Balancing Act
More than 40 original works of art trace the development and amazing creativity of the American master sculptor, with particular depth in his most celebrated period, the late 1940s. Highlights include miniature maquettes, works on paper, jewelry, monumental sculptures, and one of his largest mobiles.
Michelangelo Public and Private:
Drawings for the Sistine Chapel and Other Treasures from the Casa Buonarroti
Centered around 12 original drawings by Michelangelo, this special exhibition features portraits of the artist, personal documents and decorative arts. Its primary focus is Michelangelo’s preliminary work for the Sistine Chapel in Rome, including a selection of working drawings for the Sistine Ceiling and the Last Judgment.
